"Nintendo "like retirement home""

BBC report on E3 Nintendo performance

"Nintendo's conference was like a retirement home for classic game developers as Toru Iwatani, the brains behind Pac-Man, played on-stage against Mario wunderkind, Shigeru Miyamoto, who is currently working on an all-new Pac-Man title.

Refreshingly self-critical, the assembled masses were told of the mistakes the big N made with marketing the GameCube, and the difficulty the traditionally family-orientated company was having in appealing to modern, gore-obsessed players.

But their president, Satoru Iwata, in a nod to the Grand Theft Auto series, assured Nintendo-philes: "You won't see Mario shoot a hooker".

And while we were assured the GameCube had a rosy future, its successor is already officially in development."

*chuckles*

Anyway, bored now.


I'm going to play a 'game'.

Don't know if any of you have heard of them.

ROTFFLMFAO!

It must be official then, cos some fanboy said so :D

Where do you get it from then?

And obviously, I would hope that even you have the intelligence to realise what is actually news and what is just chit-chat.


Only if you think about it, there is more news for Gamecube stuff than anything else, possibly a link with the fact that the Gamecube forum gets the most messages. Compared to the XBox forum which gets practically nothing.


Take E3, about 6 or 7 news entries concerning GC, 1 or 2 for the Xbox and the same for the PS2.

I knew it!
Blow u away wiv my head-rod

Not too hard at all, did GCSE Latin in 1989 before taking it for A Level.
Trying to cast back to over 13 years to engage in an amusing banter is, quite honestly, something I can't be arsed with.

But hey, I'll bow to your obvious GCSE grasp and smile.
And I particularly like the way your sentence structure shoots up to adult level in an attempt to appear knowledgeable.

Or do you think that because I'm unable to recall lessons from school that it somehow implies a higher level of intelligence?

'7m'
Was that m a typo?

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA! Yeah! As a writer for a news service on a site that gets 7m hits per month, naturally I look to our chat forums for all the exclusives! Ahahahhaa!

I thought it would be for your benefit. But if my GCSE is too hard for you, I understand. It must be hard having so many things to remember, I would understand if you had forgotten.

Snuggly, you earn more respect by admitting you were wrong, esspecially when it's such a minor detail like that.


And the news for PS3 and Xbox2 should have been posted on your Upwire.
But then again, it might not, seeing as you get your news from reading the forums.
